DOWNTOWN CHAPEL, 232 Calhoun Street from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. David was born October 24, 1949, in Charleston, South Carolina. For most of his life, 55 years, he was a professional musician (drummer/percussionist). He was a math/science teacher for 29 years. He taught in Dorchester District 2 at Flowertown and Newington elementary schools and River Oaks Middle School. He was a professional tour guide/storyteller for Bulldog Tours for 18 years. He was best known for his pub, food and ghost tours. He was a graduate of St. Andrews High and Charleston Southern University. David played music all of his life and brought joy to those who heard him play. He performed in the symphony, played the blues and jazz, locally and elsewhere. He was an active member of Second Presbyterian Church, serving as a Deacon of the church and performing music at the "Seconds Please" Tea Room at Second Presbyterian Church. His hobbies were gardening, boating, computers and of course, being with his family. His greatest joys in life were his daughters, Ashley and Meredith and his granddaughter, Caleigh. The family takes great comfort in knowing that he has gone to his heavenly home to be reunited with his daughter and his family. David impacted the lives of many in all aspects of his life and shared his joy and love for life with everyone, especially his wife of nearly 44 years. All who knew him were blessed by his gracious nature, his sense of humor, and his true Southern charm. He will be greatly missed! He was preceded in death by his beloved daughter, Ashley Amanda Hinson; parents: Edith S. Hinson and Mendel G. Hinson, Sr.; brother, Mendel G. Hinson, Jr.; and infant sister, Sharon.

I was absolutely shocked and deeply saddened to learn of Mr. Hinson's passing today. He was my 4th grade teacher at Flowertown Elementary from 2000-2001. One of my three favorite elementary school teachers. On the last day of school he brought his drumset and played because I reminded him he said he'd do that on the last day. I will miss him dearly and always carry his memory in my heart. My thoughts are with his family.

I send condolences to David's family. David was our drummer in our1960's high school band. He was Excellent, even then. A true professional even at that age. I am so sorry to see he went home so young but so glad to know of his salvation.

I grew up with David, and his brother, Gary, at Second Presbyterian Church, and St. Andrews High School. David was my "big brother," very protective of who I went out with, etc. We had some crazy times double dating with my friend Susie. We also had fun in the church youth group and choir. He was so funny, and had the best laugh! David was a wonderful musician, with so much talent. So sad that I did not get to see him in the last 30 years or so.
